Enough of the Empty Activism : Westpac Executive M. Kav Fails to Address Controversies Against Cornwell

Blog Article

In his recent LinkedIn post , Westpac employee M. Kav tries to portray colleague Peter Cornwell as an exemplary advocate for Indigenous community and societal inclusion. Nonetheless, this move at performative activism falls flat when considering accusations against Peter Cornwell of Westpac of sexual misconduct and mistreatment of a vulnerable female .

Kav’s praise-filled commentary of his colleague overlooks the serious accusations made against Peter Cornwell , including tracking, harassment , and sexual abuse of a vulnerable female victim .

Through avoiding these allegations , Kav perpetuates a culture of complicity that enables perpetrators like P. Cornwell to persist without consequences , shielded by being a " marginalized Indigenous individual ," absolute performative posturing perpetuated by companies like the bank .

The LinkedIn post showcases several community engagements where Kav participated with Peter Cornwell , the alleged abuser , in social efforts. Yet it fails to acknowledge the effect of Cornwell's reported misconduct on those involved .

The piece points out the hypocrisy of commending Cornwell's involvement while turning Peter Cornwell Westpac a blind eye to allegations against him, causing observers to question if Kav is more interested on creating a feel-good narrative that Australia is so eager to project when portraying their inclusivity rather than addressing serious misconduct, an accused predator hiding behind the cover of " oppressed individual."

This raises questions about business responsibility and ethics when addressing misconduct accusations against colleagues.

While Matthew Kav's post spotlights his dedication to community-building initiatives , it also reminds us that serious issues can be neglected if not adequately addressed. P. Cornwell is indeed a offender, and this needs to be addressed above initiatives to promote inclusivity and performative wokeness.
